Meanwhile, in the not too far distance, the three boys looked around at their vanquished foe and began to celebrate.
"Wow! We actually did it! I honestly thought that one of us was going to die." Sirius commented happily, he was chuffed with his friends and especially himself.
"Yeah I have to adm- AAAHHHHHHH!" Remus screamed in pain, the other two boys turned round to face Remus. Greyback is his fully form werewolf and had torn open Remus' back and he was lying on the floor barely conscious.
"NNOOOO!" Sirius shouted as he ran over to Remus, he was stopped in his tracks by the werewolf growling in his face. "Confundo!" the beast slowly slumbered from side to side, confused with what had just happened. This gave Sirius time to turn into Padfoot, and battled it out teeth on teeth, the young wizard wasn't thinking clearly when he did so. If he was in his right mind, he would have taken his wand and used magic on him but he wasn't thinking rationally.
He didn't think about if he got any blood of the werewolf's in his system he would be one.
He didn't think about how he was going to take down the full blown 12 feet tall animal towering over him as he is a large dog.
He didn't think about what Remus would do if he found out what he was doing.
He didn't think at all. He just did what he thought was a good idea. In hindsight, it was a very stupid idea.
James held up his wand to help his friend when suddenly he heard a horrible, grogey and insane voice, "well well well, you found me. How does it feel to have the person you have been looking for, be right in your arms." It was Barty Crouch Junior.
"I'm bringing you in, you kill all three members of the Longbottom family and you are going to spend the rest of your days in Azkaban. What are you doing here anyway apart from hiding out?"
"Nothing out of the usual: drinking tea, eating scones, oh yeah I forgot to mention torturing your wife. Her screams were deafening, I can only imagine what she is like in bedroom." the bleeding man joked, blood gushed from an open wound next to his eye where Lily had hit him only minutes before. And behind his back he held a spare wand, out of sight from the auror in front of him. James was building with hatred, no one talks about Lily like that ever! He was the one causing her so much pain; and he was laughing about it. He hated that someone had caused her pain in any magnitude, however this criminal was making jokes out of the situation to provoke him. And it worked.
"You will die for what you just said." James spitted, suddenly raising his wand to point at his victim.
"What about what your darling wife told me, she said you weren't able to perform in the sack Potter?" the blood still dripping down the side of Barty's head, he wanted to duel James but only when he was mad enough to try and kill him. Barty wanted to kill James as well as drive him insane with memories of his crying wife.
"I will chop off you dick with a muggle axe if you say another word!" Potter threatened, he wanted to kill him so badly. Barty whipped out of the wand from behind his back, and they were duelling. "BOMBARDA!"
Either party screeched at each other, shouting spells to cause the other harm. Both hated each other as much as the other. James wanted Barty dead. Barty wanted James dead. The battle was intense, either one was at each other's throats shouting curses like: "Engorgio!" and "Incendio!". As the battle slowly came to an end, James blocked Barty's "Immobulus." which tried to freeze him, and he shouted "EXPELLIARMUS!"
The blood stained face looked stunned as his wand threw the air and into his enemy's hand. James still pointed his wand at Barty's face, "don't you ever talk about my wife like that ever again. Or so help me Merlin, I will kill you!" He meant what he said, and Barty could see that. "I'm talking you in now." his prisoner stared at him dead in eyes but made no sound, he knew he lost however wasn't going to stop him from giving up.
"JAMES!" Remus shouted. Potter quickly swiveled round to face Remus, he was bleeding on the floor. Greyback had slashed his back open and James looked at his friends slowly dripping with blood into the ground. As James looked at his friend, in that moment he had to decide: save Remus and Sirius or put away the man who had murdered his friends and tortured his wife. He wanted to do both, but trying to do both could result in one failing. Suddenly James zapped Barty unconscious and ran to where Remus was.
"What is Sirius doing?" James asked Remus, Sirius was still battling the werewolf right in front of where Remus was. "I need to move you out the way." his friend went to pick him up, but he refuse.
"No. Just save him." Remus mumbled,
"What about you? You need a healer and quick!"
"Not until he is here. Not until I know Sirius is safe." there was no point in arguing with Remus, his mind was set and nothing could change it.
James looked away from Remus and at the wolf war right in front of him. Both Greyback and Padfoot lashed out to try and hit one another; once Padfoot realised what he had done, he went more into a defensive mode. He was always between Greyback and Remus, to avoid the werewolf going after his boyfriends. They continued to growl, until Greyback lunged at Padfoot with his jaws wide open. He missed him, only by a fraction but enough for him to remain as a non-werewolf man. This was Sirius' chance, he used only his claws to rip the werewolf's skin to bring him as much pain as he had caused Remus.
"Aqua Eructo!" proclaimed James. A large amount of water poured out of the end of his wand, he controlled the liquid to make a barrier between Greyback and the rest of them. As the werewolf looked up and down a liquified wall, he was confused, James moved it closer to him in order to scare him. Greyback didn't know what else to do apart from run away and deal with the rest of the full moon somewhere else; so he did. Once out of sight, James dropped the wall and called out to a now transformed Sirius, "Padfoot! Get here now!"
Abruptly Sirius ran from where he was to the side of his bleeding boyfriend, "Oh Merlin, you're going to be alright. Did he get any of his blood in your system?" they all knew that if he did, it would be the end of being werewolf free.
"No he didn't. I'm fine, just it hurts a little." both James and Sirius could see he was a lot of pain, the cuts on his back were deep and wide.
"You're going to be okay. We are going to get you back to Hogwarts, Madam Pomfrey will fix you up really well." James positively described. He looked round to where Barty Crouch's body should be lying; but it was gone. He hated that the man got away, but at the moment his priority was getting Remus a healer and quick.
"Where's Lily?" Sirius asked, they had all fought off a dozen Death Eaters and still didn't have Lily, James was beating himself up. He forgot about his wife for a second, only to look up and behind Sirius was red and blue lights flying between two wizards. Swiftly, Potter araised to get a better look at who was fighting; it was Voldemort and someone else, it wasn't Lily the figure was too small but quite a lot smaller maybe a child, it was Harry.
The next chapter will be up soon. Hope you enjoyed this one.
